Gonzalez said he sat in a GMC Yukon getaway car during Campos' 9 p.m. shooting, but in cross examination Gonzalez said he saw the gun flashes from over his shoulder because of the way the SUV was parked.

George Gigarjian, Torres' attorney, questioned whether Gonzalez could see the flashes because a streetlight shined above the shooting.

"So it wasn't dark in that area, right?" Gigarjian asked.

"I don't remember," Gonzalez replied.

Attorneys also pointed out inconsistent statements about how many shots Gonzalez heard -- which he said was from three to eight shots in various conversations with authorities.

Gigarjian even questioned where Gonzalez, a self-described former gang associate, picked up the term "muzzle flashes," since it is typically a term used by police.

"Had 'muzzle flashes' been part of your vocabulary prior to you testifying in this case?'" Gigarjian asked.

"I don't know," he replied.

Gonzalez said he has been relocated from Watsonville for his safety because he is testifying in the case. The Santa Cruz County District Attorney's Office has paid for his rent, food and utilities since November.

If he weren't testifying and was in the getaway car with the shooters, he could have been charged with murder, Gigarjian pointed out.

Attorneys also picked apart discrepancies in Gonzalez's testimony this week and what he told investigators in earlier interviews.

Gonzalez this week said Meza called him the evening of the shooting because he wanted to go on a mission, or jale, to harm a rival gang member. He said Meza showed up at his home with a bike and a scooter, but they ended up walking around the neighborhood to look for rivals before Sanchez picked them up in the Yukon.

In earlier interviews with police, Gonzalez said they rode the bike and scooter around the neighborhood to look for rivals. He said the earlier version was accurate.

"I guess my memory was better then than what it is right now," Gonzalez said.
